Santosh Srinivas, who had directed 'Kandireega' for the first time bagged a big hit through his debut film. Undoubtedly and unanimously everyone accepted that 'Kandireega' was a hit. Not only the general audiences, several film personalities were also impressed with the taking and action scenes in the film.

Impressed with the positive talk, Allu Arjun, called up the director after watching the film and expressed his wish to do a film with him and asked him to pen a story that suits his body language.

The director perfectly made use of Ram's acting talents and made the film a big hit and stood on par with directors like YVS Choudary and Sreenu Vytla, who gave hits with Ram like 'Devadasu' and 'Ready'.

However, Santosh Srinivas may get Allu Arjun's dates only after his present assignments with Trivikram Srinivas and Vasu Varma.
